Sept. 4 Rev. Milhorn preached
his farewell address, which EN-
braced the funeral services of Har-
vey Fairman lately deceased. The
sermon was very appropriate and
touching to surviving friends and
encouraging to the faithful votar-
les of Christ.
Landon Storer, the amatuer
tramp, is daily meeting with
much adversely in practicing his
imposition upon the farmers of
our township, for he refuses to
comply with the salutation, "leave
my premises" and he generally
gets a booting on his hind carriage.
Squire Stevenson refused the
tramp cognizance Of his case
against citizens for assault when
forcibly expelled from their prem
ises when he refused to go other
wise, on the ground that he pro-
cured the assault upon himself.
That his pursuit in it's nature is
strictly criminal and therefore he
has no franchise to be vindicated
in the laws of Ohio. Such char
acter as he is to be more dreaded
than the ordinary thief or robber.

about S5 years. Sept. Z, his remains
were inferred in the Mt. Zion
Cemetery.

The only regard Ohio Republicans
have for civil service reform is that they
may, by its rules, retain some of their
party in office during Democratic su-
premacy. They howl for it where Dem
ocrats have the appointments to make !;
they utterly ignore all its rules where
thoy have control or can by any possibil-
ity turn out Democrat. Those Repub-
lcans, who honestly believe in the doc
trine of their platform are dubbed Mug
wulnps, and utterly ignored in all party
councils.

The Use of Books,

No matter how brilliant a man may
be, and it matters not how rich the
mines of his orig nal resources are. he
can accomplish but comparatively little
without tho aid of books. 1t is not
that he must employ the ideas which he
finds in the books, but that his mind
must receive that graceful strength
which they alone can give. There
have, it is true. been many great men
who cared little for books, but they
would have been greater had they pos
sessed love for old volumes written
by Samsons of thought. The man who
has n warm regard for his library can
not be wholly depraved. He may be
inclined towards thievery and may be
disposed to lend his intellectual energies
to corrupt purposes, but that something
within him which turns with affection
to the library is noble, yes. almost di-
vine.- Opie p. Read.

Huxley said: II invented the word 'ag.

We know that the revolution of the

such facts are ignored and must be ver-

Honesty Among Newspaper Men.

A club friend of an investigating
turn of mind remarked to me the other
night that the journalistic profession
was singularly exempt from rogues.
We were talking about the charge made
by Philadelphia newspaper that the
city editor of another paper received
$50 weekly from the gamblers organ
ization as the price of silence in the
columns of his paper on the subject of
their existence. lie remarked that the
rogues' gallery would be found to con-
tain pictures Of more lawyers. doctors,
merchants and even clerg, men. than
newspaper men, and he considered it
quite remarkable. l failed to coincide
with his opinion as to its being remark

newspaper men are unusually honor
able and h;gh-minded. If they were

The Spoons We're Marked.

I hear of a funny mistake which was
lately made. A couple who had been
married about five years and who had q
superfuity of spoons, that had been
presented to them. determined to get
some of them of on friends who were
following their example. On receipt
of cards announcing friends wedding
they chose nice set of spoons from
the collection Of the cupboard and dis
patched them forthwith. The gift was
returned next day, with q note saying a
mistake had evidently been made. as
the spoons had the initials of the sem
der's maiden name on the back of tho
bowl. The unfortunate economist had
examined the handles and never thought
of the initials being placed on the
bowls. ToUn 7opics.

The latest development OF spiritual
ism in New York promises to be both
popular and disastrous, according to
a letter in the Baltimore American.
A pretty young medium. with blonde
complexion and look not at all
ghostIy, gives seances in which she.an-
ncunces that her own spirit leaves her
body, the latter being occupied for the
time by any disembodied spirit hap
pening to be In the locality. At re-
cent seance when the curtains OF the
cabinet parted, out stepped q white
robed form clad in white drapery, worn
SO as to expose both arms. Long
ders aud breast and down the
back. A bare white foot peeped
out from under the garment as the
form slowly approached the specta-
tors. 1t Was not a terrifying appari-
ton, for not man in the room
shrank from it. The re-embodied
spirit purported to be the first wife of
a good-looking gentleman in one Of
the front seats, whose second wife was
with him. He said that he recognized
the late lamented spouse distinctly.
Thereupon she put her arms about
his neck and gave him a long, lingering
xiss that seemed to agitate him some.
1t also affected the lady by his side.
She shifted Indignantly and said she
didn't believe a word of such non.
sense. Then the mediums body was
successfully taken possession ofby de-
parted female relatives of several gen.
